Wangfu Shenyuan

Then the arm was grabbed, and the moment he was about to hit the ground, he was lifted up and stood firmly, the soles of his feet were slightly numb from the shock.As soon as he looked up, he saw that Wang Ye's face was particularly dark in the thin light of dawn.

Xia An couldn't tell why he was angry and how angry he was. Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to contradict him rashly.Pulling the dirty sleeve: "My lord, don't be angry."

Rong Li dodged away, not letting him touch his sleeve, but his hand was still on Xia An's shoulder.

"My lord, what are you so angry about?" Xia An was so pitiful.

"I'm mad at you. If you have something on your mind that you don't tell me, you still don't want to listen to my arrangements. I can't watch you all the time in such a big palace. If it's like last time, you were sold out by others, and you were killed by others. If you do this again, I can't understand what is in your head." Rong Li was furious and forgot to control his voice.

Xia An was so frightened that he hurriedly used his hands to block his mouth, but unfortunately he couldn't. "I know I'm wrong, can you listen to my explanation?" It turned out that he still cared about him, hehe, that's great.

Rong Li broke Xia An's hand, turned his head, pretending not to listen, but said: "As you wish."

"I think that although Adu Courtyard will be chaotic, even if Steward He is not around, the manager will not let Adu Courtyard fall into the control of the princess."

Rong Li couldn't help looking over: "How do you know?"

Xia An was horrified by the prince's cold and probing eyes, and even changed her address.

"The slave is just guessing. The big and small courtyards in the inner courtyard have been manned by the princess, and the princess is the mistress of the palace, so it is unreasonable not to let her take care of the general affairs. Yesterday, I asked the manager to look at the congratulatory gift for the fifteenth prince. The manager deletes and adds A few of them, except for Wu Daozi's paintings, are all removed from the warehouses of the outer courtyard, and added treasures from the warehouses of the inner courtyard. The servant boldly guessed that the chief steward was going to retreat to the outer courtyard."

"Although Aduyuan is only a courtyard for making gift lists, it can be seen from its location beside the main road that its status in the outer courtyard and even the entire palace is not low. If the manager wants to concentrate manpower to protect the outer courtyard, Aduyuan is definitely the focus , will not let it fall into the control of the princess."

The accountant of the other mansion is the most important part of the master.But the leisurely palace only has the income from the prince's salary, and does not have the income from shop and land rent in addition to the salary like other aristocratic mansions.Most of the work in the counting room of the Wangfu is actually keeping accounts, recording the expenses of various courtyards.

The largest income of the palace comes from the rewards from the palace and the filial piety of subordinate officials, and all of these have to be recorded and put into the warehouse through the Aduyuan, so the stewards of the Aduyuan know the property warehouse of the Wangfu best.And the palace gave Aduyuan great power over the content of the gift list.

Seeing the prince's pupils shrinking suddenly, Xia An hurriedly pleaded guilty. "My lord, please forgive me. This slave is just guessing on his own. He has no intention of intervening. He is not a spy sent by any family." No matter how well the lord treats him, even if he desires in his heart, he still cannot truly go to him as a friend. Facing the master who can control his own life and death.

He is not particularly cautious, but the living environment does not allow him to be restrained.He is not indifferent, after all, he is young, so he will inevitably have the urge to mess around, but he has to imitate the appearance of adults on weekdays.

Rong Li squatted down, and said coldly: "No matter what the chaos in Adu Courtyard is, you must stay out of it. Otherwise, I will throw you into the dungeon and let you out when it is peaceful."

"The servant promises not to intervene." He was just a servant tidying up the warehouse, how could he intervene in the palace fight, what was the prince worried about?

Rong Li asked negatively: "How many times did you say 'slave' just now?"

Xia An couldn't turn the corner when Wang Ye suddenly skipped a question, counted the number, and answered honestly: "Three times. Ah——My Lord, please forgive me."

Xia An covered her cheeks that had been pinched three times, not daring to speak out.

Turn left, turn right, elongate.Sure enough, a little fatter feels better.Xia An, who had three red marks, was very angry, like an incompetent cat that had been robbed of fish by a dog.

Sending Xia An back to Adu Courtyard, Rongli once again complained that he was sweating all over.However, Xia An questioned: "The wind is cool and cool in the morning, why is the prince sweating again?"

"You try to run around the house with a big living person in your arms, wipe off your sweat." Rong Li tapped Xia An's eyebrows vigorously, wanting to leave a mark there too.

Xia An was in pain, and she still had to tap her toes when she took out the sweat towel.Rong Li didn't close his eyes this time, he lowered his head slowly, Xia An panicked and wanted to back away, when Rong Li grabbed his hand, Xia An was forced to stick it by himself.

"My lord, don't force me."

Face to face, Rong Li rubbed against each other, and said: "I'm not forcing you, just get closer. Don't move, it's not raised in a girl's house in a deep boudoir, so it won't matter if you touch your face."

"My lord, friends shouldn't be so close, we..."

Rong Li interrupted him: "Haven't we not established a relationship yet?"

"Aren't you friends anymore?" Xia An hurriedly confirmed.

"Yes, but it's still under development." Rong Li bit Xia An's earlobe evil-heartedly, Xia An's body trembled, unable to avoid it, he could only lower his head.

Rongli can't force him too much, so he can bury his head in his arms. "Today I will enter the palace with the princess. There will be foreign envoys visiting. There will be a state banquet tonight. Maybe we will spend the night in the palace. You don't have to wait for me at night, go to bed early."

Xia An pouted, why did he speak as if the two of them often spent the night together, he didn't wait, if it wasn't for the prince to do something. "Understood. My lord, what should Guan He do? I really want him to stay. Oops, my lord, don't pull your ears, it hurts."

"Don't let me know that you have other men in your heart, even women. Don't worry about anything, just do your job with peace of mind." Rongli taught.

Xia An is kind and kind: "I understand, I understand."

Not having time to catch up on sleep, Xia An fetched a basin of cold water from the well in the first courtyard to wash his face.While washing, when Guo Tan came in and saw Xia An alone in the yard, he ordered: "Xia An, go and wake up all the night watchmen, come out and wait in the yard."

"What happened?" How could you be so anxious.

"Don't ask so many questions, go quickly."

"Yes." Xia An packed up the toiletries, and knocked on the goalkeeper one by one to wake up the dozing people.

The third-class boy came out first and hurriedly cleaned the yard, the second-class boy came out to talk with Guo Tan, and the two first-class boys who were watching the night were still slowly dressing and washing.

Soon, the three principals approached the gate angrily. Behind them, almost all the people from the Adu Courtyard came together. Even Hong Rui, who had just been tortured, was supported and followed behind. , was framed.It was Qingtu who was actually being supported. He was arched, and there were bloody fingers under the arms that were hanging limply.

Mr. Hu was so angry that he pointed at Hongrui and yelled at Hongrui before his butt was seated: "You have no conscience. If you don't learn well by yourself, you insist on killing Qingtu. Do you still think about the friendship of the same family? You still have a little Do you have a conscience?"

Hongrui is the person who is in charge of Liu, he is scolded so badly, and the face of the head of Liu is also dishonored.Director Liu couldn't refute clearly, so he could only hold back his anger and persuade him: "Mr. Hu, calm down. In front of so many people under your command, you should also pay attention to the influence." Hongrui's mouth.

No matter how dissatisfied Director Hu is, he still has to respect Deputy Manager Liu in face. "I see, then please ask the deputy steward to punish this villain quickly and seek justice."

"Why don't you go ask for a doctor first?" Xia An asked He Cheng who was supporting Qingtu.

He Cheng replied: "I've gone to ask for it. The doctor will come to the hospital to look at Qingtu's wound. Taking advantage of this spare time, the three principals still need to check the wound, so we can't even bandage it for Qingtu."

Xia An leaned down to check Qingtu's wound, it seemed that a phalanx was broken, blood was flowing, it was so ruthless.If they don't get treated, their hands will probably be useless. If something happens, they don't treat the wounded first, but they want to bring the wounded together to punish the murderer. I don't know who they are going to do, it's even more ruthless.

"I've seen the deputy steward, and the two masters, can I ask the servant to bandage Qingtu to stop the bleeding first?" Qingtu is Xia An's half master, and he can't be spoiled like this by others.

Chief Liu said: "No, we have to wait for the doctor in the mansion to come and have an examination, so as to find out why he was injured."

Xia An said: "Keep Qingtu dragging on, his hands are going to be useless." Director Liu will definitely not feel sorry for Qingtu, Xia An cast his gaze on Director Hu's face.

Director Hu lowered his eyes, avoiding Xia An's gaze, and did not speak.

Xia An begged a few more words, but was pulled behind and covered her mouth by the people she usually got along with better.

Medicinal food is prescribed in the inner courtyard, and the doctors are very tempered. If it is not for the master to see a doctor, it is not a matter of whether they can be invited. Even if they are invited, they will leave in a hurry.When they arrived, Qingtu's hand could only become evidence.

Xia An looked anxiously at the door, and finally saw an old man with a gray beard walking leisurely, followed by a child carrying a medicine bag.Xia An hurried over, half beckoning and half pushing to welcome him into the yard.

The old doctor looked at it, and his face became more and more ugly. While ordering the boy to prepare the hemostatic medicine, he scolded everyone: "Why didn't you stop the wounded bleeding first, and you have been suffering from such a serious injury and have been hanging out like this. Are you going to abolish him?" ?” The principals didn’t answer the question at all.

Qingtu was shaken all over, and finally couldn't help it anymore, she shed tears and begged: "Doctor, help me, if my fingers are useless, I will have no way out."

"Don't worry, it's a pity that you met the old man today. This hand will definitely not be broken, but don't lift heavy objects within a year, use your strength, and don't write with a pen within half a year."

"Thank you, doctor." It's just that he can't write for half a year, which is already an unexpected good result for Qingtu.

Chief Hu's face also looked better, and after the doctor finished bandaging and ordered Xia An to prepare the medicine, he asked, "This doctor is new to the mansion, right? He looks familiar, may I ask your surname?"

"My surname is expensive," the old doctor said.

Chief Hu's face froze, and he said immediately: "Doctor Gui, can you see what hurt Qingtu?"

"The bone of the finger was pinched by a kind of clamp. Looking at the wound, it can be deduced that it should be the injury suffered before the third watch." Everyone was surprised. His finger was pinched in the middle of the night, and Qingtu didn't call out until dawn. Pain for help.

Seeing everyone looked at him in puzzlement, Doctor Gui opened his mouth to explain: "The old man checked his tongue coating and found that he had taken Mabosan, which is similar to Mongolian sweat medicine, which can make people unconscious. The old man guessed that he was He was drugged first, and his hand bones were pinched off while he was asleep. The injury was discovered only after the effect of the drug wore off." Because Mafeisan is rare, only in the palace or high-ranking nobles, the noble doctor detailed explained. (This article is empty, don't research on Mafeisan or something)

Everyone was ignorant of medical skills, and they all whispered to each other about its miracle.Xia An was "fortunate" to have tried the efficacy of Mafeisan, and it was very powerful.

Chief Hu complained: "Bastard, Qingtu and you have always been in harmony with each other, but you have harmed him like this. I have to cut you alive today to relieve my hatred."

Director Xing interjected: "Take what Hongrui had in his mouth and let him explain why he wanted to kill Qingtu."

"Why else, the last time he failed to frame Qingtu, but was pointed at instead, he must be holding a grudge, and he must have Qingtu's fingers cut off." Director Hu angrily snapped at the words.

Hongrui was able to speak, and immediately opened his mouth to express his grievance: "You are wronged, master, the servant has been grounded, and he has never been out of the house during this period of time, so how could he harm Qingtu? And last time, it was really not the servant who framed Qingtu." , the three masters are clearly investigating, clearing up the grievances of the slaves."

It would have been fine if he hadn't done it ahead of time, but when he mentioned it, everyone would think that he must be holding grudges because he was accused of failing to frame him, otherwise he wouldn't mention it as soon as he made a sound.

Director Liu really wanted to pull out his tongue.

"You said it wasn't you, but is there anyone to prove it?" Chief Criminal asked.He is now the least involved person among the three principals, so he is the one who avoids suspicion the most when asking questions.

"The slave is grounded, the door is locked, and three meals a day are brought in by Xu Yan, he can testify for me."

Xu Yan came out and reported: "My slave, Xu Yan, is in charge of Hongrui's three meals a day." Before he could finish speaking, Hongrui immediately asked him to testify on his behalf.

He said calmly: "The servant only checks whether Hongrui is staying in the house honestly at meal time. According to the observation of the servant, Hongrui has a very bad temper these days, and he smashed many things in the house. And When Hongrui was escorted out this morning, the slaves checked the doors and windows, and although there was no sign of the door lock being pried, the wooden stick on the window was knocked off with great force. This is a broken wooden stick."

The criminal master took the wooden stick and looked at it in advance, and then handed it to Chief Liu for review.Hongrui was so emotional that he almost threw himself on Xu Yan to beat him up, but the three servants grabbed him tightly and prevented him from moving, only to hear him shout with red eyes: "Xu Yan, why did you frame me, why?"

"Do you have any other witnesses?" Chief Criminal asked Hongrui again after his mood stabilized.

With snot and tears running down his nose, Hongrui cried, "This servant hasn't been out of the house since he was punished, and no one has come to see him except Xu Yan delivering food. The servant has never smashed a window, really."

"That means there is no one or food that can prove your innocence." After the chief criminal finished speaking, he looked at chief minister Liu.The latter had no choice but to order Hongrui to be sent to the dungeon.

How could Mr. Hu let Hongrui go, stood up and drank: "Just send it to the dungeon, but don't let other yards make fun of us for being unruly. It's not that there are no old examples. If we have, we will follow the old rules." Come."

The rules of each court mentioned by Mr. Hu refer to the lynchings formulated by each court. If you frame others, you must point them out.

The old example refers to six years ago, when two servants had a quarrel, one of them felt so angry that he poisoned the other to death.At that time, the steward was a man surnamed Gu, who was cruel and ruthless, and he single-handedly established the punishments of Adu Court.His sentence was like this back then, let the poisoner take the rest of the poison, it was regarded as life for life, and it was cleaned up without the royal guards at all.

"Although Hongrui's finger is not broken, it is still useless. Is it really necessary to break him again?" Chief Liu asked sadly.Although he gave up Hongrui, he also looked down on Hongrui, but after all, he has been together for a few years, and he would not feel sad if Hongrui died, but he also felt the sorrow of letting Hongrui be tortured, and he also The pawn in other people's hands, on the day he becomes an abandoned pawn, he also wants a clean result.

Director Hu snorted coldly: "Why not? Director Cheng (Xing Tang Cheng Dafang) once showed me a small iron hammer, the thickness of a finger, and I don't know what was filled in it. With a light hit, a small iron block can be knocked out. It was smashed to pieces. Why don't we ask him to borrow it and let everyone open their eyes."

Hongrui bowed to the ground: "The slave is really wronged. The masters don't go to find out the facts, but why do you torture the slave. The slave is wronged."

The noble doctor said: "If you condemn someone, don't destroy the person."

Chief Xing also showed a look of unbearable expression: "Boss Hu, let's forget it, what's more, Hongrui has been under our hands for several years, working hard and making progress, you should take care of the old love at least."

"Then he and Qingtu are still brothers, does he care about the friendship of the same family?" Mr. Hu dismissed Mr. Xing's face, and he wanted to avenge Qingtu. "Xu Yan, you go to the punishment hall to borrow things, go back quickly."

"What do you want to borrow?" came a questioning voice from the door.

Everyone looked towards the door, Guanshi He was helped in, his face pale and haggard.The three principals hurriedly got up from their seats, and went forward to greet Steward He.

Guanshi He sat on the main seat, his eyes slowly scanned everyone present, and after a long time, he said, "Qingtu is so badly injured, what are you doing here unless you send him back to his room to rest?"

Everyone seemed to wake up, Xia An and the others immediately helped Qingtu to go out.Qing Tu didn't move, he gritted his teeth and said, "The manager, although the slave is humble, he can't be harmed at will like this. The slave will have to wait to see what happens to Hongrui."

"Confused." Manager He yelled and cursed. After all, his body was weak and he couldn't bear it, so he coughed non-stop after speaking. "You are also a steady person, why are you so confused this time. Whether Hongrui is the murderer, you should go to the dungeon and check slowly. If so, how can you let him have a better life. Your body is the most important thing. After you cultivate yourself, you will be better than him." Everything is strong."

"The servant knows his mistake." Qingtu blushed after being scolded, and accompanied by Xia An and the others, went back to the room to rest.

After they left, Chief Liu said: "The [-]th Prince's big day is approaching, we can't delay the gift list any longer. Yesterday the manager made a list of congratulatory gifts, but Qingtu injured his hand, and Hongrui was also abolished. The others in the yard are all useless, and the royal family can't do anything. Now it seems that only Qingbai, who has been with Qingtu for the longest time, can take on this important task."

Guanshi He stared fixedly at Mr. Liu, who was overwhelmed by him, forced a smile and said: "Guanshi, where is Qingbai, why didn't you serve by your side, and these two?"
